Okay, I understand you now, you want to use the ones that show up under the Advanced Configuration program. You can use those but somethimes they won't stick. Try going into your regular sound sentings and sent the ones you want to change to none, then go into the Advanced Configuration app and choose the ones you want there, they might show up as none as well but they should stick. Advanced Configuration looks at \Windows and finds the sound files that are avilable with in that folder only, if you want to add your own you'll have to do the reg edit thing.

I was digging around our forums and have not been able to find anything that deals with removing the clock in our notification bars. I am currently on Serendipity 8.2 and have had no luck researching anything, even trying UOT kitchen but coming up short.

I have just received an OTA update to 2.3.6. I have been connecting my Note to my laptop using Kies for the last few days to see if it was available that way but there was no mention of an update. So I was pleased when I did an update check using Settings on my phone and discovered one was available OTA. It is good getting OTA updates just like on the Nexus One so there is no risk of installing the wrong firmware or making a mistake using Kies.

So what difference does the update make?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ArcticCat:
received my note yesterday and had OTA 2.3.6 XXKKA also 15 megs size.

also interested to know the differences
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jommy999:
i bought from carphonewarehouse and got OTA 2.3.6 this morning too. :D

ps. its stock phone with no root.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] HTC Chris:
So this removes root and CWM?

Edit: apparently root and apps are not touched on this update according to the other thread about this.

Just downloaded and install failed, it said to try using kies...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DAMIEN123_666:
just downloaded update via phones updater and installing now...ill report back with more info after

ok successful.. phone updated to

2.3.6

N70000XXKK5

kernel = KKA

ok i can confirm root is left alone and all apps and settings preserved :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] buk_grudziadz:
Have the same. It failed to update, said to try by kies. I also have rooted stock ROM.

Maybe we should unroot ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] HTC Chris:
That may be the case, so I'll probably do this later today since it's almost 3am. I don't want to set everything up tonight.

Or we can just wait for a custom ROM that will have the update.

Edit: I don't understand though why people who are rooted in the other thread got it to work.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DAMIEN123_666:
people rooting doesnt effect the updating. im rooted and ive just completed update fine.... download the update via wifi like i did and it works great.. see my post above
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] HTC Chris:
That's how I downloaded the update.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] BruTaL_BeN:
Thanks for the thread! I've nicely updated my phone :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Matt_180:
Also got 2.3.6 OTA today. Phone is from the Polish Plus+ telco. Seems much snappier all around. Will be interesting to see if battery life improves too. Also the stylus seems more accurate but it's hard to say...

Bring on ICS!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ballfire:
mine fails the wifi update. tried 3 times. my phone is rooted.

fire up kies and says that kj4 is the latest :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Souai:
perhaps its to do with the method you used for rooting.

iirc, there are a couple of different root methods, some of them seem to affect the tamper counter (cant think of what its really called). maybe the update is only available for those who still have the counter at 0?

dont quote me on this though, im still a nubblet on the tweaking side of android.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] buk_grudziadz:
It seems rooting has nothing to do with it. I've rooted by the CF-Root method 2.

Maybe any other changes make the problem (theme mods ?)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] HTC Chris:
I don't have theme mods, I disabled go launcher ex, and unfroze my bloatware too
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] buk_grudziadz:
What about AndroidIceCreamSandwichtheme by movmo ? ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] HTC Chris:
No I had to revert back to the stock theme since the dialer had problems. Worst case scenerio I may have to wait for a custom ROM, maybe ill try updating through kies later.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] drhoades01:
I rooted my note with Chainfire's tutorial using the zergrush method and installed the new KKA kernel.

My phone downloaded this new update but failed to flash it on reboot. I think I'll just wait and see if Chainfire releases his own version or there is a rom with it built in.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] CGI_Ram:
I updated today.

Looks to be smoother. Thats my initial impression anyway.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] HTC Chris:
Finally got mine to successfully update, I had to do it through Kies.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] buk_grudziadz:
Didn't work for me. Kies discovered the update, downloaded it, the phone went into download mode and then Kies said: "Kies does not recognize the phone ......."

My only option is updating a custom rom via CWM or ODIN.

Great news !
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bedspringlex:
after ota kies says software not updatable

got my note from Clove in UK. I live in lexington, Kentucky, USA. after applying the update OTA kies now says that line, software cannot be updated using kies. I hope that maybe Kies is just running behind the new phone updates. Maybe the new kernel or version numbers haven't been put into Kies. Anyone else get the same results I got after updating OTA?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassguy86:
I have a 7mo old nephew and every now and then his parents send pictures of funny/cute stuff he does but I'm unable to receive them.

I get a download button but on wifi I can't retrieve it. I have data disabled because I don't have the $15/mo for a data plan.

I'd be willing to pay the $0.30/mms to be able to see the occasional pic.

Is there anyway I could disable auto update and background data and be able to turn on data when I get a pic from them and be able to get it without getting slapped with a data plan? <(really stupid policy of AT&T's)

I know I could with my non-smart phone (samsung eternity) but I don't know how to do that with the Samsung Captivate (cyanogenmod). I was told at&t does a sweep for smartphones w/out data and auto add it and the only way to avoid it was to keep data off at all times.

Also what MMS settings do I need? I'll admit to being a complete n00b on all this. thanks.

Thanks for any help!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apbthe3:
You could try following the instructions on this post, down toward the bottom, to alter your APN settings for MMS only: http://androidforums.com/samsung-ga...y-s-gt-i9000-mms-internet-settings-t-apn.html

The problem is that MMS is sent over the data connection and not over WiFi, so you will have to turn your mobile data on make it work. The APN settings would appear to limit your traffic to MMS, but whether this would trigger AT&T's data plan policy, I have no clue. Personally, I wouldn't risk it.

As an alternative, they can send the MMS to your email address instead of your phone number and you could get it that way.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yguns76:
Is it possible to tell your family to send the pictures to your gmail account?

family
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassguy86:
After going by AT&T I found some mixed news:

Good: Our family unlimited messaging plan includes MMS.

Bad: AT&T detected last month that I have a smartphone (with data off) and added generously the $25/mo data plan w/out so much a text message.

I got them to drop it to the $15 plan and have to call customer service monday to see about getting a partial refund since I didn't use it.

On a semi related note: Since it looks like I may be getting a non-smartphone, what is a good touchscreen phone that does NOT require a data plan?

Thanks for all the help everyone :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apbthe3:
Of course they did. This is the most unfair rule ever; it's like AT&T telling you how you should use your phone. That sucks :(

I don't know anything about current phones that are out. I would just go to an AT&T store and play with them to find one you like.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassguy86:
Agreed. I understand that in the long run less people probably complain about a data plan than the accidental/negligent data charges that would probably happen but it's still unfair to give NO other option.

I swapped to my backup phone, the samsung eternity. Descent phone but screen is inaccurate, calendar function is tiresome and no threaded texting (good music though). I will look at what phones they have (including GoPhones) and then get one online, who wants to waste an upgrade on a lesser phone?

On a similar note, will Straight Talk or any other prepay phones work with AT&T sim? I know GoPhone will.

I plan to get the data removed and try for at least a partial credit for the last month of data I didn't use.

I may ebay the Captivate since who knows how long it may be till I can afford a data plan.

hi guys :D

i put my phone up to cyanogenmod 7.1.0.1 from 7.1.0 rc1 about 2 or 3 weeks ago and since then i have been getting quite random reboots. seems to happen most when im doing alot with the phone.

i did a fresh install last time and going to do it again in a few days when i get off work to see if that helps.

anybody else been getting this? read a thread in the general section from a guy getting reboots from 3g connections???

any help or thoughts greatly apprecieated.

:cool:

Have you tried the latest nightlies?
[Wildfire General] Justice™:
Go back to 7.1.0.1 - 7.1.0 rc1 is buggier and older and I think most bugs in it got squashed in the final version. You can always try going to the nightlies aswell as a alternative plan!
[Wildfire General] Winamp_zg:
I had the same problem, I've been using CM7 for a while and few days ago it started rebooting. My CPU was on 691MHz, I put it back on 614MHz and now it's not rebooting.

On 691MHz was about 2 months.
[Wildfire General] heavy_metal_man:
I've not tried the nightlys and I am on 7.1.0.1, I updated from the rc1. I thought it may be the CPU settings. I had it over 700 :/ I've dropped it to 570 or so and I've raised the minimum to 300 or so from 250 I think. Hoping that will sort it as I'm loving the rest of this update :-) built in screenshot equals win B-)
[Wildfire General] Slymobi:
I love stable but since I flashed nightly I've not gone back,the improvements in nightly is in my opinion outstanding and would highly recommend. I think I'm on #255 and have not had 1 problem to date.

dock options

If you like the stock TW Launcher you can change the email icon by going into your app drawer and tap your menu button thats at the bottom of your phone. Then click edit, you'll see your dock at the bottom zoom out and move to the middle. Now you can long press on the mail icon once you feel the vibrate you can move it back to the app section. Then you can move another app you want down to the dock.

If you don't like the TW Launcher you should try Go Launcher EX , its free in the android market, and its very customizable.

Hope that helps

Just got a Captivate and I whenever I make or receive calls there's a loud interference crackling sound like an old internet modem UNLESS I set the phone to SPEAKERPHONE. I can make the call and I can hear the other person but it's almost impossible to understand anything the sound is so bad if I don't set the phone to speakerphone.

I've tested skype just to be sure it's not speaker related and I could hear and speak perfectly.

If I play a music or a movie the sound is perfect though.

I've tried a bunch of different roms, modems and carriers to no effect.

ROMs that were tested

CyanogenMod-7.1.0-Captivate, I897UCKF1, I897UCKE3, stock Froyo, Continuum, Mosaic, Milky´s i9000 GB ROM (no interference crackling noise during calls at all, but people could hear me and I could not hear the people. If I plug in the headphone I can hear but I hear with the interference crackling noise. If I press the speakerphone I can hear everything perfectly).

Modems that were tested (via odin AND CWM): kb1, ke3, kh3, kj3, kk2, jl1, kk1, kk2, jh7, kk4, jh2, kf1, jh2, ji6, jj4, kb1, js1, jv6, jpd, jpg, zsjpg

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
If it isnt a rom/modem/kernel issue then its hardware. In wich case not many ppl would know how to fix it. I would recommend talking to the seller of the phone or maybe (depending on the age of it) comunicating with samsung for the 1 year warranty thing.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rawfa:
I've tested skype just to be sure it's not speaker related and I could hear and speak perfectly...so I guess at least this rules out hardware malfunction.

Do you guys think it could be something with the dialer?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rawfa:
IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENTS! I've tested making and receiving calls with the speakerphone on and I can hear and be heard perfectly! It's only when I make or receive calls with the normal settings that the issue occurs.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apbthe3:
Odin one click back to stock Froyo. Don't change your modem, restore any settings, or do anything else but turn the phone on. If it still sounds like crap, it is a hardware problem. If it sounds good, it's something you're doing after the install.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yguns76:
Agreed. At a minimum, factory reset the phone from the settings (backup any data before).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rawfa:
It doesn't make sense that I can hear perfectly when in speakerphone and while making skype calls...both use the same hardware.

Could this be carrier related? Even though I have full reception bars when I try to find available carriers it finds all the main ones except mine (VIVO), and it finds a number instead (72411).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apbthe3:
That's not entirely true. If it is your earpiece that has failed, it would still sound fine on speakerphone because it is using the speaker on the back, not the one on the earpiece.

It could be your carrier. I assume you're using the right SIM card for your carrier?

As an aside, jumping from thread to thread is making it unbelievably difficult to help you. Please just start a thread and stick with it so those of us trying to help you actually have the information we need to do so. I understand that you think that you are helping us by summarizing the facts, but what you really are doing is getting rid of valuable information that people are trying to use to figure out your problem. Info that you may not think was important (like the fact that you are in Brazil) could actually be the key to figuring it out.

Are you running CM7?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rawfa:
I've tested making skype calls and I could hear and be heard perfectly. That is why I was assuming it was not my earpiece.

I've tested 2 SIM cards from my carrier. Since the phone is unlocked I will try to test a SIM from another carrier to see if the issue persists...though if it's carrier related I'm not sure what I could do.

I'm not using CM7, but I did try it out.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apbthe3:
If it persists through flashes to stock and over multiple carriers, I would suspect it's a hardware issue, unless someone has any other ideas.

---------- Post added at 04:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:34 PM ----------

Although... you could try playing with the frequency bands to see if it gives you better results. On stock, I believe it is *#2263# (if that doesn't work, search around for band selection). This should take you to the band selection screen, which will give you the ability to manually select which frequency bands you are using. You could try different bands to see if it gives you access to something better.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rawfa:
What I really don´t understand is how come this problem doesn´t happen when I make calls with skype (since it uses the same hardware). This is what really makes me perplex about this problem.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apbthe3:
Because skype uses the data network and phone calls use the voice network. Also, phone calls would use your audience chip, while skype wouldn't (I don't think anyway). If it's hardware, my suspicion is that you have an audience chip problem. This sounds like the same issue you get when you flash an i897 modem on an i9000 ROM, presumably because the modem is expecting the audience chip but it's not working.

What made me think it was a band issue was that you can't see your carrier with your carrier's SIM in. This would point to your phone not seeing your carrier's frequency band.

If you sort that out and still have static, next you could try flashing an i9000-based ROM (pretty much any GB ROM but Pinnacle, Cognition, or Illuminance) and try that. i9000 ROMs don't use the audience chip at all, so if that is the issue it won't matter.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rawfa:
I´ve just tested a i9000 GB ROM (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1207466&highlight=odin).

I don't really recommend that one. I don't use I9000 ports alot anymore. I did use Continuum for a while (it was a while back so no clue how it is now). But at this point you just want to prove a point. I agree with apbthe3. If using stock 2.2 or any 2.3 leaked I897 rom (properly installed) and you get static, its Hardware. If it works with I9000 then its your audience chip.

Lot's of my friends complained about dumb speech quality on my sgs2, currently on Cyanogen but with stock firmware too. With stock firmware i could disable noise reduction, which i had to do with every call, but it didn't make it really good.

Warning: The following will viod your warrenty and you can easily damage your phone! Just in case: i told you so and it's your responsibility, not mine...

Today i opened the phone (removed battery, sim, microsd), 6 or 7 small screws, with fingernail along all sides of the phone lifteing the two parts carefully apart, Being aware not to loose the plastic power and volume parts. I made the lower mic hole a little bit bigger, removed the rubber housing of the mic (lift it up a little bit and gently pulling away from phone) and made the hole a litte bit bigger (using a small flat screwdriver to access the inner part and a scalpel) , cutting away a little bit of the inside hole. After reassembling i used a paper clip to press the mic towards the display and the rubber piece to the bottom.

Now with picture guide, see page 2, thanks to speedys4 !

My friends asked me if i had a new phone after testing!

Finally this great piece of hardware does even phoning right!
